Meaning: "imported" means brought in from another country.

Wrong options:

• imorted: It leaves out the "p". Write "imported". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• importing: "importing" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "imported", which ends in "ed".

Correct answer: mill

Explanation: You hear "a mill was established". It comes after "a", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "mill" means a building where paper was made.

Wrong options:

• mil: It leaves out the "l". The right spelling is "mill". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• mills: "mills" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "mill", with no "s".

Correct answer: provided

Explanation: Listen for "throughout the 14th century provided most". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "provided" means gave or supplied to others.

Wrong options:

• provded: It leaves out the "i". Write "provided". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• provide: "provide" is missing the ending. The speaker says "provided", with "d" at the end.

Correct answer: availability

Explanation: On the recording you hear "increasing availability of paper in". You need a word for a state, so it ends in ity.

Meaning: "availability" means how easy something is to get.

Wrong options:

• availibility: It has "i" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "availability". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• available: "available" is a close word, but it ends in "le". The speaker says "availability", which ends in "ility".

Correct answer: production

Explanation: Listen again to "the production of identical printed pictures". It comes after "the", so you need a word for a thing and it ends in tion.

Meaning: "production" means the making of things in quantity.

Wrong options:

• prodution: It leaves out the "c". Write "production". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• produce: "produce" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "production", which ends in "tion".
